「阿爾忒彌斯二號The Artemis II 」太空船同時展示美國和加拿大國旗，因為這項任務是美國國家航空暨太空總署（NASA）和加拿大太空總署（CSA）的合作項目，加拿大太空人傑里米·漢森是四人乘組成員之一。這項合作凸顯了加拿大對太空探索的重大貢獻，包括為月球門戶太空站提供的加拿大臂3號機器人技術。

 

聯合展示的主要原因包括：

國際合作：加拿大是《阿爾忒彌斯協定》的重要合作夥伴，該協定旨在以永續的方式探索月球。

加拿大太空人：傑瑞米漢森是首位飛越近地軌道的加拿大人，也是第一位飛抵月球附近的非美國太空人。

歷史與技術淵源：加拿大太空總署（CSA）開發了加拿大臂機器人系統（1、2 和 3 號），該系統對美國太空梭和太空站的運作至關重要。

太空人支持與合作：這項任務由美國太空人里德·懷斯曼、維克托·格洛弗和克里斯蒂娜·科赫與漢森共同執行，展現了加美兩國牢固的聯盟關係和共享的技術成就。

The Artemis II spaceship displays both the USA and Canada flags because the mission is a collaborative effort between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), featuring a Canadian astronaut, Jeremy Hansen, as part of the four-person crew. This partnership highlights Canada's significant contributions to space exploration, including the Canadarm3 robotics technology for the Lunar Gateway. 

Key reasons for the joint representation include:

• International Partnership: Canada is a key partner in the Artemis Accords, which aim to explore the Moon sustainably.
• Canadian Crew Member: Jeremy Hansen is the first Canadian to travel beyond low-Earth orbit and the first non-American to fly to the vicinity of the Moon.
• Historical and Technological Ties: The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) developed the Canadarm robotic systems (1, 2, and 3), which are vital to US shuttle and station operations.
• Astronaut Support & Collaboration: The mission, featuring American astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch alongside Hansen, showcases the strong alliance and shared technological achievements of the two countries. 

The Canadian flag on the Orion spacecraft and Hansen's spacesuit symbolises that all of Canada is part of this historic mission, which brings together international, intergovernmental, and Indigenous partners.
